East Surrey Council will come into existence on Vesting Day 1st April 2027. Until then East Surrey Councillors have been working to set up East Surrey’s structure, appoint Officers, determine policies and develop a budget.

One aspect of the Councillor’s work has been to develop a Council Strategy setting out a direction of travel for the next five years. Whilst all 72 East Surrey Councillors have had the opportunity to have their say, it is based on the Liberal Democrat’s election manifesto. That is not a criticism, it is the ruling groups absolute right to seek to implement their programme. I am sure that you will find much to agree with, but this Survey is the opportunity for residents to have their say on the listed priorities for spending by the new Council.

The survey is open from Monday 19 October 2026 and will close on Sunday 15 November 2026 at 11:59pm. You can access it by clicking on the link below.

Epsom & Ewell Borough Council is inviting residents to share photographs, memories, and stories from the past 90 years as part of celebrations to mark the borough's 90th anniversary.

Next year will be a significant milestone for the community. Not only will it mark 90 years since the creation of Epsom & Ewell Borough Council in 1937, but it will also be the year that local government reorganisation sees the formation of East Surrey Council.

To commemorate the end of this historic chapter, the council is developing a programme of events and activities that will celebrate the borough's rich heritage, achievements and community spirit. As part of this work, residents are being encouraged to contribute photographs and personal stories that capture life in Epsom & Ewell across the decades.

These contributions will help create a lasting record of the borough's social history, preserving memories of local people, places, events and everyday life for future generations.

Please submit your photographs, memories and stories by emailing [email protected].

We've been delving into the archives to uncover some of the defining moments from Epsom & Ewell's 90-year history.

This photograph shows James Chuter Ede, the Charter Mayor, receiving the Charter of Incorporation on 29 September 1937, marking the official creation of Epsom & Ewell Borough Council.

The new borough replaced the former Urban District Council and brought with it a Mayor, a new coat of arms and civic regalia, generously contributed to by local residents. It marked the beginning of a new chapter in our borough's story.

Now, we want your help to tell the next part of that story. Do you have memories, photographs or stories about the people, places and events that have shaped Epsom & Ewell over the years?

📸 Email your memories and photos to [email protected]
